PCI DSS 4.0
Req 6: Secure Systems and Software

PCI DSS 4.0 6.1.2: 6.1.2 Requirement 6 roles and responsibilities assigned

The roles and responsibilities for carrying out the activities in Requirement 6 must be documented, allocated to named people or functions, and understood by those who hold them. This includes accountability for secure coding, code review, vulnerability ranking, patch installation, web application protection and change approval. It applies to all entities. Customized approach objective: day-to-day ownership of every Requirement 6 activity is allocated, and the people holding those duties answer for their successful and continuous operation.

Other controls in Req 6: Secure Systems and Software

You are reading one control. How much of PCI DSS 4.0 have you already done?

PCI DSS 4.0 6.1.2 is one control. If you already hold one of the frameworks below, a reviewed crosswalk already says how much of PCI DSS 4.0 your existing evidence covers. Hold ISO 27001:2022 and 139 of 280 PCI DSS 4.0 controls already carry evidence.

Each report names every control your existing framework evidences, every one it does not, the reasoning behind each claim, and the claims that were argued against and rejected. 415 were rejected on the ISO 27001:2022 pair alone.
